James Grind felt that he might have been playing with fire here. He thought Huang Shu wouldn't have any romantic interest in him in this cycle. Because he didn't initiate any conversation besides that one time at the charity party.
[For real, though, how could Huang Shu suddenly have any romantic interest in me? We literally only talked once, and I'm not even friendly at that time.]
[Pupa: Hold on, let me download an extra file. This world is really too complicated.]
pαпᵈα-noνɐ1·сoМ Pupa downloaded an extra file and then checked the extra background. Then it replied to Yunyu.
[Pupa: Hmm'¦ based on extra world background. Huang Shu and James Grind was a lover in the previous cycle. In some cycle, James Grind did not receive the mission to kill Long Zhen, like when the spy/assassin before you, Pan Ming, was stuck as a romantic partner with Long Zhen. In that kind of cycle, James Grind would get entangled with Huang Shu instead. And it seems that Huang Shu and James Grind were a perfect match.]
[Pupa: So in those worlds when Long Zhen didn't meet James Grind, Huang Shu would fill James Grind's chrysanthemum instead. And they live happily in peace, even more than Long Zhen and James Grind.]
[So that is why Huang Shu seems to be entangled with James Grind even in that cycle when we do not know the true mission of this world and Long Zhen's identity as transmigrator.]
[It is pitiful, though. James Grid and Huang Shu were supposed to be real lovebirds. But because Long Zhen is here, they become separated by fate.]
Pupa continued to read the world background about Huang Shu while Yunyu rambled inside his head nonstop. Then Pupa noticed something that also shocked itself as a system. Pupa glanced at clueless Yunyu and thought this wouldn't be the best time because he might be too shocked.
James Grind gulped as his forehead started making cold sweat. He thought that Huang Shu would bring him to Huang Mansion or back to the city. But it seemed they only drove further and further from the city.
James Grind glanced at Huang Shu with anxiety in his eyes, "M'Master Huang, I really don't have value for you to keep. It's best for you to just drop me and leave. If you want to provoke Master Long Zhen, there are better ways than just taking me'¦"
"Who said I want to provoke Long Zhen?" Huang Shu grinned. He stepped on the gas pedal deeper so the car would go faster. "I am taking you because I feel like it. You feel very familiar as if we've been together in our previous life. Is this fate? I'm not sure either. But I don't have any intention to provoke Long Zhen now."
"T'Then, why are you keeping me'¦"
"Because I want to know you better, of course," Huang Shu said without hesitation. He slowly put his free hand on James Grind's thigh, which made James Grind jolted in response. Huang Shu chuckled when he saw James Grind got nervous. "Don't worry, I will be gentle."

Long Zhen was sitting alone in his office. He couldn't sleep for two days straight. He kept staring at his phone screen. He scrolled through the gallery and saw many pictures of him and his Jamie.
Jamie tried golf for the first time. Jamie got upset because he lost a sparring match. Jamie got upset because he failed another assassination attempt, and there were plenty of selfies.
The more he saw these pictures, the more Long Zhen felt stupid.
He already swore that he would bring his group to the surface as a legal organization, but because of his impatient self, he used the easiest way out by hiring those two women during the meeting.
And his Jamie happened to see him.
"Fucking stupid! Long Zhen, you are an idiot!" Long Zhen cursed himself for causing James Grind to run away. Now it would be hard to track him down.
Knock. Knock.
"Who?" Long Zhen asked.
"I'It's me, Master Long," the voice of his right-hand man was heard from outside. Long Zhen allowed the man to enter. The subordinate reported is finding after two days.
"I've tracked all Black Aston Martin owner in this city and found there are only three people with Black Aston Martin. However, two of them are old men that never used their Aston Martin. So that leaves only one person with a black Aston Martin."
"Who is he?"
The subordinate was unsure whether he should say this or not. But knowing his Master Long Zhen, the result would be the same nonetheless.
Because Master Long Zhen truly loved his James Grind.
"Based on my finding, the only person capable of taking away Master James Grind that night was'¦ Huang Shu, the Master of Huang family."Â
The loud sound of the table getting slammed surprised the subordinate. He gulped when he saw the wooden table got split into two when Master Long Zhen slammed it in a fit of rage.
Long Zhen started thinking about what Huang Shu did in the past three months. Huang Shu became the biggest hurdle for Long Zhen and made every deal harder for Long Zhen.
Huang Shu was why Long Zhen resorted to this desperate attempt by hiring those women to seduce that perverted old man.
"There is no doubt. He must be the one who orchestrated the whole thing to take James Grind away from me," Long Zhen clenched his fist. He ordered his most trusted subordinate, "Find Huang Shu's location right now. We will raid him tonight. I will make sure to put his head in front of our gate as a warning."
The subordinate could feel the murderous air around Master Long Zhen. This time, Master Long Zhen did not play around. Huang Mansion would turn into a bloody river soon.

"M'Master Huang! This is dangerous!"
"Hm? What dangerous?" Huang Shu leaned on the chair leisurely. He just took a bath. With only a bathrobe to cover his body, he sat on the chair while waiting for James Grind to finish his bath.
Huang Shu's subordinate looked scared, and he continued, "Our men found that Long Zhen has dispatched many of his men to surround Huang Mansion. At this rate, they will raid us soon!"
Huang Shu scoffed and brushed his subordinate away, "I've told you to prepare for the worst, right? I don't care whether Long Zhen will raid us or what. Just prepare for the worst. Now, let me enjoy my time with Master James Grind. I am going to have a good dream tonight."
Huang Shu entered James Grind's room, "Jamie, are you done with your bath?"
Huang Shu looked around the empty room and found no one. Then all of a sudden, he felt someone was going to grab him from behind.
Huang Shu caught the hand that was about to harm him and threw him on the bed.
"Ah!" James Grind groaned when his body hit the mattress. He thought he was fast enough after many training with Long Zhen, but turned out, Huang Shu was probably close in term of strength with Long Zhen.
Huang Shu chuckled at such a futile attempt. He walked towards James Grind and sat beside him. Huang Shu caressed James Grind's smooth cheek and pinched it lightly.
"I've been waiting for this."Â
